Abstract (en)

[origin: EP4274341A1] Embodiments of this application provide a communication method and a communication apparatus, to implement communication in a plurality of bundled time units including an unavailable time unit, avoid communication interruption, and improve communication efficiency. In the method, a communication apparatus first determines first information indicating that N consecutive time units are configured for sending a first message in a joint transmission manner. To be specific, a receiving device that receives the first message performs joint channel estimation in the N bundled consecutive time units to obtain the first message; and when there are P unavailable time units in the N consecutive time units indicated by the first information, the communication apparatus sends the first message in the joint transmission manner in M consecutive time units different from the P unavailable time units.
